Now he is a founding member of Friends of Wind. Promoting Wind Generation in Ontario.

Things must be pretty stressful for him right now, he trashed half the town in his Black Mercedes and tried to get away with it.

Unfortuantely he left his license plate behind at the first crash scene and disabled the vehicle at the second crash scene.

I don't think he is too worried about saving lives or promoting a Healthy community.

Paul Seccaspina had a deadly blood alcohol level when he attempted to drive his vehicle from his home on Maki Avenue to his office on Regent Street on the evening of June 10, a Sudbury court heard on Friday.

He ended up driving off the roadway twice, striking rocks. The second crash immobilized his vehicle and caused a large laceration to his forehead, the court heard.

The 47-year-old had blood alcohol level readings, which were taken about four hours after the second crash, of 340 and 320. The legal limit to drive is 80. His lawyer, Ted Conroy, estimates his client's blood alcohol level was likely over 400 at the time of the crash.

"He almost lost it all that night," Conroy said. He said he not only could have died as a result of his high blood alcohol level, but also as a result of the collisions.

The veteran defense lawyer told the court he can recall only two cases involving individuals who had alcohol levels that high that survived.

Seccaspina pleaded guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice on Friday to impaired driving.

"I apologize to my family, my employees and the community," Seccaspina said before he was sentenced.

Assistant Crown attorney Andrew Slater told the court Seccaspina was drinking at his residence on Maki Avenue and left in his vehicle between 8 and 8:30 p.m. on June 10.

He drove his Mercedes off the road onto the lawn of another residence on Maki, striking a set of decorative stones, Slater said.

"A piece of the bumper was left behind as well as the licence plate of his vehicle," Slater said.

He again went off the roadway striking a large boulder, which caused more damage to his vehicle and immobilized it, Slater said.

"He made his way to the washroom in the building where his office is located," Slater said. "Employees found him prone, on the washroom floor, bleeding profusely from his forehead … He had signs of excessive consumption of alcohol."

Police found an open 40- ouncer in his vehicle, Slater said.

He provided breath samples at the hospital and was arrested. Seccaspina, who required 14 stitches in his forehead, spent four days in jail before he was released on bail.

Since his release, he has begun to address his alcohol problem, the court heard. He has been in contact with the rehabilitation centre in North Bay.

Justice Guy Mahaffy said he can't believe others on the road were not harmed as a result of Seccaspina's intoxication. He pointed out that Seccaspina drove out on to Paris Street, which has five lanes of traffic.

"That is one of the busiest streets in Sudbury," Mahaffy said.

Mahaffy fined Seccaspina $2,000 and prohibited him from driving for one year.
